Description:Field of the Invention
This invention relates to a system of healthcare environment monitoring bot for hospitals.
Background of the Invention
For patient care and business operations, healthcare organizations necessitate a secure and competent environment. Human error and inefficiency in risk responses might result from adopting traditional observation methods. Maneuvering in congested environments escalates collisions and mishaps, which may result in casualties and damage to medical equipment. The challenges in identifying environmental concerns, especially poor air quality, which affect staff well-being and patient recovery, make real-time data crucial in healthcare facilities. In addition to the logistical challenges of transporting equipment while maintaining surveillance on multiple locations, manual data gathering and monitoring could make these problems even worse.
Utilizing complex sensor technologies and autonomous navigation capabilities, the medical robot negotiates several obstacles. The robot uses DHT and air quality sensors to continuously measure environmental parameters like temperature, humidity, and air quality. Healthcare personnel can respond quickly to any difficulties that develop since it gives them access to real-time data. The robot can travel the facility on its own without causing any disturbances or mishaps thanks to the sophisticated obstacle identification and avoidance mechanisms that are equipped with the ultrasonic and infrared sensors.
JP5188977B2 A mobile robot guest for interacting with a human resident performs a room-traversing search procedure prior to interacting with the resident, and may verbally query whether the resident being sought is present. Upon finding the resident, the mobile robot may facilitate a teleconferencing session with a remote third party, or interact with the resident in a number of ways. For example, the robot may carry on a dialogue with the resident, reinforce compliance with medication or other schedules, etc. In addition, the robot incorporates safety features for preventing collisions with the resident; and the robot may audibly announce and/or visibly indicate its presence in order to avoid becoming a dangerous obstacle. Furthermore, the mobile robot behaves in accordance with an integral privacy policy, such that any sensor recording or transmission must be approved by the resident.
